We're gonna get between 2 and 12 inches of snow

Depending on who you listen to, we're going to get anywhere from 2 to 12 inches of snow tomorrow. Since these guys all get their weather from the same source, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), you would think they would all be saying the same thing.

You would be wrong.

They all like to put their own little spin on things.

One guy is "predicting" that the storm will track closer into the coast which means we'll get more snow. Another dweeb is predicting it will track farther out to sea which means we'll get less snow and still another is predicting it will slow down and maybe even stall a little bit which means we'll get some snow but maybe some rain too.

Personally, I like to go to the source.

According to the National Weather Service at NOAA, we are under the following winter storm warning:

...WINTER STORM WARNING NOW IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM TO 8 PM EST
THURSDAY...

* Locations...Interior Massachusetts and northern Connecticut.

* Hazard Types...Heavy snow.

* Accumulations...Snow accumulation of 7 to 14 inches.

* Timing...Snow will begin between 4 and 6 am Thursday morning.
  Snow will then fall heavy at times Thursday afternoon before
  tapering off to snow showers toward evening.

* Impacts...Hazardous travel due to snow covered roads and poor
  visibilities. Both the morning and afternoon rush hours will be
  impacted. Snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour will be
  possible at times along with some blowing and drifting snow.

No matter what happens, it's not good weather for flying.
